Dear Yin Weaver,
Well, I guess I have a lot of shy followers, because I'm not getting any posts here or on my Fan page (OK, Like page). Maybe I just need to find the right question? Or are these questions too personal? Let me know!
Here's todays Crown chakra question: What type of guidance do you fear the most?
Hmmm, that's an interesting question. Compelling, even. Why would I fear guidance? What beliefs do I have about guidance that would make me be afraid of it? I suppose the answer is I fear guidance that stretches me out of my comfort zone and draws me into unfamiliar territory.
Why would that be? Because a part of me fears I can’t handle the truth. I’m reminded of Jesus’ words to his disciples near the end of his life: “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.”
But have you ever had a dream where you’re in a familiar setting—say your home—only to discover a room you never knew was there? That’s the good news. Truth never appears until you’re ready to handle it.
And you?
Blessings,
Rose

I have become such a submissive person in my years of life. Even though I am called to make decisions every day, I try to be patient and wait on God to bring me....answers and guidance. When I put the words down, they sound corny, but it is the truth. The pain necessary saddens me, but I know it is part of our experience.
ReplyDeleteCompelling question wow. Just asking it makes me uncomfortable. Your answer fits me also.
ReplyDeleteAs I think deeper I realize that many people that have guided me have not been good at it: patient, descriptive, kind, clear, knowledgeable. True guidence is a talent and a skill. It takes practice, knowledge, understanding, repetition and the ablity to break each lesson down to the basic parts. We call it many names: teaching, instruction, and guiding.
I like the term guiding because it includes a spirtual aspect along with a gental, patient nature.
I guess I fear having no guidence which implies that know one cares about me or that I have know one to show me the way.
Many people, events and things guide me. Of course my parents, friends, my husband, family and people I have worked with. My children have guided me everyday. Everything guides us and as I write this I realizre again that "A type of guidence doesn't cause me fear" all I have to do is be willing and as an adult I can manage any learning situation.
Great question Rose. I learned something about myself. You guided me again and I am appreciative.
I think my fear about guidance would not be about discovering new territories; I would actually like that. My concern would be whether or not the choice is right, and not harmful, toxic, and evil to me or others. Therefore, I fear the Evil guidance.
ReplyDeleteDear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your words of wisdom. Where does the pain come from for you? For myself, I immediately thought of the need for detachment, and how guidance sometimes leads us away from what it is we think we want and need to what our soul's path truly needs.
Blessings,
Rose
Dear Eve,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your point...having no guidance is your greatest fear. Where would we be without it?
I notice your reflections led you to consider where you get guidance from, and that it comes from people and situations outside yourself. I can see where you would feel afraid and alone if you are relying on something outside yourself.
Blessings,
Rose
Dear Jarmila,
ReplyDeleteWell good for you and your adventurous spirit! As for fearing you may be led wrongly, what helps you discern whether guidance is tending towards good or towards evil for you?
Blessings,
Rose
My own body; if something is not quite right, I get aches:physical, emotional. My intuition, conscience,common sense ....all gifts from God.
ReplyDeleteJust have to learn to relay on it more, since it has never been wrong; and how I know it, well because I used to not listen to myself but to other people sometimes; that did not feel right, but I did not know better...
How true, Jarmila. Our bodies are our best teachers!
